The Shakti of Mahadeva, the cause of all activities, who empowers Brahma’s Srishti is Uma-Parvati. The primordial female is the pinnacle of feminine beauty, strength, and wisdom. In the Panchaloha tradition of Swamimalai, Uma statues have been sculpted in bronze to accompany every form of Shiva in the sacred shrines.
This bronze statue of Uma Parvati depicts the mother goddess standing atop a pedestal, in a graceful posture, with one hand raised in the Katakahasta mudra to offer a flower to Shiva and the other dangling on her side in Lolahasta mudra. Her hair is adorned with a jeweled crown, and her torso is ornamented sparsely, with necklaces clasped around her neck and a Yajnopavita. A delicate dhoti is worn by the goddess, which is held by an ornate waistband.
The divine presence of the supreme mother is highlighted by a grand aureole, emerging from the mouth of two Makaras (symbol of divinity and royalty) at the base of the magnificent statue
